  I hope you replaced your engine driven fuel pump when you landed.

  I lost the engine in a 360 on a go-around at 100'.  I instinctively pushed
  the nose over and began trouble-shooting.    I had bumped the boost pump off
  when adding power to go-around.  Turning the boost pump on brought the
  engine back to life.  Every pilot should, without thinking, be conscious of
  pushing the nose down when the engine quits or you will be recovering from a
  stall in addition to trouble-shooting. That event made me re-think my
  take-off/ go-around procedures.  Altitude is TIME. And you need time to
  trouble-shoot/look for a place to land.  I had always gone for speed for
  cooling.  I found that climbing to 1000' AGL at Vx did not heat the engine
  too hot.  From lift-off to 1000' AGL is the most critical time in your
  take-off profile.  Keep it as short as you can by going for altitude and
  getting more time.
